July 2012

Our firm recently accepted a new case involving a credit card lawsuit filed by the debt collection law firm Hunt & Henriques on behalf of LVNV Funding LLC. If you have been sued by these entities, or feel they may have acted in a way that violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (also known as the FDCPA), we are interested in hearing from you. Our firm can be contacted via telephone at 323-521-4422 or email at psmith@paulsmithlaw.com, or you can visit our website and fill out our form submission.

Our firm has settled a lawsuit brought against our client by Winn Law Group on behalf of Cavalry Portfolio Services for NO PAYMENT by our client. In other words, they are dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice and permanently extuinguishing the alleged debt and related dispute with neither side making any payment.

Remember, collection cases against consumers may have defenses even if you owed the alleged debt, particularly if the plaintiff is an assignee of the alleged debt and not the original creditor. If you are sued by a debt collector, take advantage of a free consultation with a consumer attorney immediately so you can learn about your rights and options. California residents can contact my office via telephone (323-521-4422) or email at psmith@paulsmithlaw.com. Residents of other states should visit the National Association of Consumer Advocates.
